About this listen

In this episode of A Look at Urban Indian Health in Tulsa with Carmelita Skeeter, host Meredith Raimondi, Vice President of Policy and Communications at the National Council of Urban Indian Health, sits down with Carmelita Skeeter (Citizen Potawatomi Nation), Chief Executive Officer of the Indian Health Care Resource Center of Tulsa. Carmelita shares her remarkable journey as a trailblazing leader in urban Native healthcare, from launching a grassroots clinic in 1976 to building a comprehensive, community-driven health center serving over 14,000 Native patients in Tulsa. Together, they discuss the systemic barriers Native people have faced in accessing care, the power of community-led advocacy, and how Carmelita's decades of leadership have helped shape national policy and promote health equity for urban Indian communities.
